Drive Time AKA Ugly Duckling SOLD ME A PURE LEMON LEAVING MY LIFE IN HELL! ripoff Doraville Georgia

Steve of FL,

I thank you for your advice and I'm now realizing that. You're absolutely right. After I get out of this sitution and decide on buying another vehicle, I'll take yours and everyone elses advice. Tameko of GA should take the same advice.

Latesha,

I am in no way affiliated with Drive Time, nor do I suport their business practices...HOWEVER...

If you are not knowledgeable about cars, you really should take someone with you who is, or during your test drive, swing into a shop who does FREE safety inspections! If they object, that means they have something to hide.

Spend the $35 to get a CARFAX report prior to purchase. This will tell if it was ever wrecked, flood damaged, etc..Or in commercial use like a taxicab, etc.. It is a small price to pay if you really want the car.

Any REPUTABLE dealer will volunteer a CARFAX report, and usually free of charge if you buy the car.

NEVER make a deal on the first visit. Always wait at least a full day to really think about it and look at other options.

YOU chose to do business with them. Nobody forced you to buy a car from them. AND there is a reason why you have been forced to deal with these types of businesses. We all make choices, and we all pay the consequences.

Do yourself a favor. Save up like $1000 and buy a used car out of the newspaper from a private seller. Establish some good credit for 1-2 years and go get real financing from a real bank on a GOOD car.

File complaints with the Consumer protection division of the AG's office and the licensing division against the dealer's license.

You also have recourse in small claims if they did not honor a written warranty.

Also if they forced a warranty on you as a condition of "financing" they violated both federal and state laws.

I, too brought a lemon...I mean a car from Lemon Time and I have problem with my lemon also. They give you a car that's 4 to 9 years old car.
Then, Drive "Lemon" Time charges you the price of the car, 74% apr, the cost of coming there to fill out an application, for using their pen to fill the application out, for using their bathroom, on their floor, for test driving the lemons, for talking to them, and intrest.

Your contract state 29.9 % apr. The truth it's 75% APR. I think these people are on crack and they all need to be tested for drug use.

When you pay the bill for the 2 weeks, I think they're pocketing that money for themselves.

If you a day late, they'll come repo your lemon. They sell you a lemon with an engine light problem. The d**n engine light comes on every day.

Lemon Time should be banned from the Stated. They are the criminals. All the people that work there should be locked up for falsifying document and obstruction of justice.

If Lemon Time want us to pay off the lemon, then give us a car that last so we can go to work to pay yo crazy a*s.
